Hi, there

Good news. U of A plan to stop increase tuition for students who are recently in U of A. However, they will increase tuition the current students who will go to U of A next year. Sounds fair. I deeply agree.

Yesterday, the Academic Planning Committee of the General Faculties
. t) Z: M+ l6 z' {: u5 B. BCouncil met to discuss the tuition proposals. I have both good and bad
news to report from that meeting.

First, the good news. The committee decided to grandfather all current
undergraduate international students from the increase to the
( n: C7 i; f8 Bdifferential fee. This means that next year, all current international
* ^1 [( O  c+ ~, ~4 ?4 `) g8 ^6 u2 _students will pay the same tuition as this year, plus whatever base
tuition increase that all students face (the proposal calls for 5.75%).
Also, the administration decided to withdraw their motion to increase
$ ?8 A& ]# q2 Z4 G2 C9 G7 Othe differential for international graduate students.

Now, the bad news. The motion that the committee approved called for an
" \  E8 N: j8 ?& `increase in the international undergraduate differential from 157% to
) r) N: V) E9 l7 o- d& X220%. This will mean that all new international undergraduate students
will pay $15,353.89 (assuming that the 5.75% increase happens). At
least, all new students will know what the U of A is charging in
tuition before they come and they will not face any large unexpected
increases once they are here.
# k) O# Y: l! v) K
The Students' Union will continue to oppose both the increase in the
international differential as well as the base tuition increase. I
would like to say thank you to all of the international students that
& p/ B7 I& S7 a8 lhave sent me emails, come out to consultations, and opposed this

$ n4 ]' g2 V3 V8 m/ R" n: Zhelp. Thank you.

Sincerely,
